How freaking tough can it be for a restaurant to offer corn, green beans, peas or other standard vegetables? Why does it always have to be the cauliflower/squash/carrot "medley?" And why use a musical term to describe food? I'm sick of the mixed veggie cop-out. Sick of it!
And just because you cut fruit cocktail up into smaller pieces doesn't mean you can call it a "salsa." Salsa is for tortilla chips and huevos rancheros. Fruit cocktail is for sissies. There is a difference.
And what's with all the sweet and meat combos these days? Does a ribeye really need a raspberry reduction sauce? Are ribs really the place for apricot chutney? What happened to A-1?
Someday I will open Dave's Restaurant. Your favorite foods will be served, leave a comment so I know what they are.
And don't use the words "medley" or "salsa" unless you want a knot on your head in the shape of Chef Dave's frying pan.

You nailed it Dave. How about creating a menu that reads as follows: Steak or fish. Mashed or fries. One of the following ~ corn, peas, green beans or spinach. Side salad consisting of good old fashioned lettuce, tomatoes, cukes and onion (sans the dicey crap you won't be able to identify).
Beverages: Coke/Pepsi or 7-Up. Tea, Coffee, or a brewski if you prefer.
Dessert: Chocolate layer cake, pudding or Jello.
But please Dave, when you open this joint, could you put up a big sign outside that says "NO PERFUME ALLOWED." Let me know when you open.
Baby back ribs
Abalone
Razor clams

How strange...to make a VERY long story short, I'm a diabetic, and thought I was able to just let it go, avoid it, and I'd be okay...until last week when I was about 15 minutes from a diabetic coma from something called ketoacidosis, and, according to the Doctors, VERY close to death! After 4 days in ICU, I'm now taking 4 shots of insulin per day, on a VERY strict diet, for now, having to partake in many of the things that are listed here, with the exception of the good ones!
I came here, looking for a little solace from the reality of it all, and read about all these great foods that I now cannot eat!! Now THAT sucks! My list could go on and on, but it would mainly be things that I took for granted before I was told, in no uncertain terms, that I can't have them anymore.
Let's start, Dave, with Willie's Pizza....
anything that doesn't fit on any f***ing atkin's menu. And can we smoke in this resaurant?
